Ace. Every morning about II o'clock
~ closed carriage, IN which ne invari-
ably rides to his office, is driven to the
door and the Secretary slowly descends
and is helped up the broad stone stair
way. Almost every morning Mrs. Man
ming accompanies her husband to the Office
and frequently calls by the department
for him. ABOUT 3 O'Clock, after four
hours at his desk, the Secretary again
climbs slowly into his carriage and is
driven home, which he now rarely leaves
until he comes back to his desk next
morning.
When Mr.. Manning resigns, if he in
tends to do so, perhaps the most notable
figure in the Cabinet Will disappear from
public life. He has occupied the three
trying positions of Journalist, politician
and tinancer, and IN zach and every one
OF them he has been Gn eminent success.
All his life he has been q man of affairs,
man of the present, and he accumulated
a fortune by the methods that distinguish
the age. He is self-made man; he has
always been hard worker, and be had
Just earned the repCse of the home he
had made fer himself when he was called
upon by the President to take, perhaps,
the nest important position in his gift.
Mr.. Manning was born in 1881, and is,
therefore, nearly titty-sX years of age.
He is a native Of Albany, y. Y, where he
has aiways lived until he came to the
Capital, and he is descended from some
of that sturdy Irish English stock which
has given America many of aer most dis
tilguiShed politicians aud business men.
Both in the habits of his body and mind
he combines the characteristics of energy
snd perSistency of his pioneer ancestry.
He did not have the questionable advan-
tsges of a collegiate education, but what
he missed in schooling he made up by OBJ
servation and experience in the various
walks of life which he has ornamented.
When but eleven years old he began life
ss "printer's devlr' in the Office of the
Albany Atlas, which paper was
soon merged mo the present Argus.

in an irregular, thoroughly artistic way,
and viewed from distance it's turrels
and towers give it the appearance of i
modern castle. This effect is heightened
by festoons of Virginia creeper which, in
summer, hang about the many porches
and gables of the man sion.
The interior of the house, however, does
not compare favorably in appearance with
the exterior. 1t is furnished in a style
that one would expect from e well-tO-dO
merchant who had retired with means
enough to live comfortably the remainder
of his life. On the right OF the broad
hallway are the reception rooms, and
opposite is the library and study. In
this latter the Secretary, when he first
came to Washington, spent most of his
time while st home. but he now rarely
sits at his accustomed desk, accept to
attend to his private correspondence.
Never a great society man, he now seldom
goes out in the evenings. spending most
CT them with his family at home. But
they are not always there. I'he condition
OF the Secretary is so much better than it
was when he first got sick that Mrs.
Manning feels disposed 10 resume her
place at the head of the married ladies Of
the Presidents household. Mrs. Man
ming Is one Of the most popular ladies N
Washington. She is the Secretsry's
second wife, and was formerly Miss
Margare'ta Fryer, the daughter of VII
liam j. Fryer, retired merchant Of Al
bany. The marriage took place in No
vember, 1884, Immediately after the
announcement of the successful issue OF
the Presidential campaign.
The first wife of MIR. Manning was Miss
Mary Little, q charming lady of English
pareGtage. She died in 1882, leaving two
sons and two daughters. The eldest
daughter, Anna, is married and resides in
Albany. Miss Mary, young lady of
nineteen, was one of three de9utantes of
the Cabinet circle during the present
season. She is very attractive and
accomplished young lady, bearing q
-se feminine resemblance to her dis
tinguished father. she is mild type
Of blonde, with a pleasant face, well
rounded figure and engaging manners, and
is delightful acquisition to the Man
ming drawing rooms. Mrs. Manning is
in the early thirties, g tall, slender and
hands ONE blonde. She is descended
from branch of the family of ChanCel
lor- Livingstones, who administered the
oath of office to the first President. She
has all the captivating grace and VIC
manly charms of the ladies of those
model days of feminine loneliness, and is
credited with being wise in counsel as
well as devoted in her home life.

My English acquaintance told the truth
when he said the high English are unwill-
ing to receive Americans into their fam
lies. More than one or two or half a
doz 81 well known American women nave
married within the last ten years into
noble houses in England, and in nearly
every instance the heads of those houses
eXerted themselves to prevent the mar
riage; disgraceful conditions have been
imposed before the ceremony cOnld be
performed, and, after all, the newcomer
was often neglected and insulted by the
aristOcratiC connections to whose society
she aspired. II beauty or genius con-
quered at last, it was sometimes not till
the husband had pawned the pearls Of
his American wife, or both had suffered,
or almost starved within sight of their
naughty and semi-royal relatives. Even
then success did not always last.

BEFORE CONGRESS- ADJOUHNS.
The President will Name the Inter State
Commissioners at Once.

R-REAI- oF TUF ST


WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE STAR,
Feb. SIT became known to-day that the
President has determined to appoint the
members Of the commission under the
interstate CON merce law before the sd-
journment of Congress. This will disap-
point great many people who wanted to
see Mr.. Morrison placed upon the com
mission, to say nothing Of the friends
Of various other congressman whose
terms expire on March next, and who
were aspirants for those very desirable
places. The Presidents course, how
ever, is commended by a great many
thinking men, who agree with him in the
opinion that the Senate should be re-
quired to take it's share of the RESPONSE
bility in this Inauguration Of an
magnitude. The senators themselves
will approve the step most
heartily, for it is no secret that those Of
the west and south intend TO exercise very
careful scrutiny of the appOintees and to
require CT them full and explicit
expression Of their views, especially as
to the Interpretation OF the fourth and
fifth sections of the law. They will put
up with 10 uncertainty or these points
and will reject any appolntee, no matter
what his character and qualifications
otherwise, who does rot come upto their
requirement in this respect.
In view of this state OF things it is per-
haps as well the President reached the
conclusion to appoint while the Senate is
in session, though there will naturally be
great chagrln in individual cases when
this fact is known.

me your boy. Some it will make and
some it will ruin, with the advantage on
the side of the latter issue. But Nam
ming thrived on printers ink, and year
after year, in one or another capacity, he
worked on the Argus until st forty sSo
he acquired the executive prOprietorship,
which he now holds. The management,
however, has for some years been IN the
hands of his eldest son, John Hilton
Manning, who bids fair to follow in the
footsteps of his illustrious father.
But i. was not only as journalist and
newspaper proprietor that Mr.. Manning
gained distinction and wealth. He is tile
politician of the Cabinet and was reared
in that Albany school of politics from
which graduated some of the shrewdest
of New York's public men. He repre-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1t is said upon

to resign the Treasury portfolio immedi-
ately after the adjournment of Congress,
or as soon as the duties of his cfice will
permit. Despite what has been said to
the contrary there is not the slightest
doubt in my mind that the Secretary is
still very sick man. He has never fully
recovered from the paralytjc stroke Of
last summer, and he shows 1t plainly in
his painful, hating gait and the dull,
leaden pallor Of his complexion. My

editor and reporter for the San Antonio Daily
Express. because Of continued caustic criticism
of the proceedings of the House. Yesterday
Garfield caused the arrest of Speaker Pendleton,
alleging that he unlawfuliy prevented him
from entering the lobby of the House. The
Speaker was taken before Justice Fritz to
swer the charge. When the House learned that
the Speaker had been arrested, great indigna-
tenn. was Immediately elected and a resolution
adopted directing the Sergeant at arms forth
with to bring Garfield and Justice Fegner be-
fore the bar of the House to answer for

The Sergeant alarms, with a corps of assist
ants, visited the Justices court in haste in

Fegner and Garfield and the constable before
the bar The House held night session to DIS
cuss resolutions for the punishment of Can
field and the Justice. and exciting scenes
sued. Garfield was permitted to make
statement. He declared that he believed he had
the right of access to the press lobby and the
right to institute proceedings to test his consti-
tutional right. He defed the House by closing
with the statements that he had nothing to
greet whereupon, by a vote of 50 to 81, the House
adopted a resolution committing Garfield to the
county Jail for forty-eight hours. Justice Feg-
ner was discharged. after apologzing. The
Sergeant at arms took Garfield to the Jail, but
returned at 10 o'clock at night and reported to

1T WAS A WONDERFUL BIRD.
A Parrot Lying In State in Its Two-Hundred
Dollar Coffin.


Parrot Lying In State in It's Two-Hundred-
Dollar Coffin.
New York Letter.
Mention was made few weeks ago of dead
parrot whose virtues were SO great as to deserve
a valuable coffin The coffin is now finished, and
the bird is lying in state in it at the Stein Manu-
featuring Company. No. 13 Bond street.
The coffin, which is unique as the birds
history. cost 5000, and is made of rosewood
six weeks to make it, and Mr. Stein says it cost
more trouble than a coffin that is worth $780,
1t is hand carved, the designs being Persian
and it is tufted throughout with pink satin.
The parrots head reposes on an embroidered
pillow, aud bevel edged glass protects the bird
of the coffin is decorated by wooden beads
fastened in after the coffin was completed
Seventeen golden screws add to the finish of
the cover.
When the order was given Mr.. Stein was told
that be might go to Tiffany for ornaments for
the coffin if he desired. The owner of the par
rot is wealthy lady of this city The parrot,
ton, was a wonderful bird. 1t born in In
dia. The lady and her husband. who has since
died, bought it when they were living
In India. One night gang of rob-
bers broke into their house. after having
poisoned the watchdog and bribed the
servants. They had not counted on the parrot.
but it was ready for them, and when they ap-
peared he remarked in English, "Ah. there. "
Then he translated his remarks into his native
dialect, and at the same time seized big bell
and rang it loudly, arousing the household. One
of the robbers was killed, and the rest captured
When the husband died he made provision III
his will that the parrot should be cared for until
in its coffin until it's owners death, and will then
be buried with her.
